Hereafter the Times-News will be run on a money-making plan. We will give our readers all they pay for, but will not run a large paper where the people do not care for it. Hereafter the paper will be enlarged as the occasion and busi¬ ness demands. If the business jus¬ tifies, we will enlarge again to S columns. On our press we can print a 5 column, 6 column, 7 col¬ umn or an 8 column paper, so that we will never be lacking of space to accommodate our advertisers, both local and foreign. The trou- ble is, we have more space to let than anything else. Henceforth we to change this. Tom Watson has a new book in press which promises to awaken still further interest in the peculiar bent of his genius, says the Boston Herald. The volume covers a wide field of research and considers the merits and demerits of about all the noted persons of ancient and mod¬ ern times. It roasts Julius Cassar and denounces that distinguished Roman gentleman as one of the boldest money sharks who ever plundered a temple or sold a nation under^ the hammer. Speaking ol the Emperor Nero, Mr. Watson observes• “Nero seemed to care little for the accusation that he had killed his mother, but the indictment that he was a sorry fiddler broke him all up. He called a great meeting of people in Rome, made them a speech, denied that he was a sorry fiddler and played a tune or two to prove that lie could tickle the cat- w’th skill and ability,” The colloquial style of the above Sample extract is something unique in our literature, and stamps Wat- son as a great slinger of English. The Philadelphia Record says : “Vice Presidential Candidate Wat™ drops into medical parlance to remark that ‘Sewall is the sooth- s ) ,r "r f the campaign for the monopolists, and he is relied upon U proclivities.’ Dr. Wat*©# evident- ly thinks the case critical enough to call for more heroic treatment, and he has accordingly written this pre* scription : ‘Let Mr. Arthur Sewall d >£.££*. Solidify the West and South. In no other way Can the free silver foes be whipped.’ But Doctor Sewall probabl y thinks otherwise,” Mr, H. F. Russell-HowJand, of London, England, is at the Rim- ball, Mr. Howland owns some vaL uable gold mining property in Che- rokee county, and is btisy testing " re t her ®- He ha j j«*t sunk a shaft 40 c feet deep, and has a small ores of Cherokee, and in fact of the whole Appalachian range, are re¬ markably rich. They are not ex* celled, he says, by any mining re- gion of the world. His average ores run from $15 to $25 a ton, and he struck one vein so rich he says it would be very apt to be consid¬ ered exaggeration if he stated the amount of gold in a ton of it.—At¬ lanta Journal, P.

When the um- pire gave a clo«e decision in the third inning the Poplar Grove men rushed on him in a body. He was prepared, for he whipped open a bag and disclosed a lot of pistols, Then the shooting began on both sides, and when it was over six men were found to be injured, three of them fatally. The game was for sum of money and this was carried off by the stakeholder during excitement. The spectators missed most of the ball game, but it can hardly be said they did not get their money’s worth,—Columbus Em * ______ Arthur Sewall, in his speech acceptance of the nomination for Vice President by the Democratic party in Chicago a few weeks ago, s * id in York last week : “Un- equivocally . and through sincere convictions, I endorse the platform on which I have been nominated. belleve we are • The peopie are Wlth us ’ and what the people declare is always right and must "T-l I accept the nomination, and with the people s confirmation, every effort of which God shall ren- der me capable shall be rendered in support of the principles involved.” Would it not be a good idea to form a Democratic club in Toccoa? We ought to do all we can for Bryan and Sewall and Hon. A G, McCurry. By the asking we can get Hon. A. G. McCurry, Gov. Atkinson, Steve Clay, Chairman of the State Executive Committee and Ex-Speaker We would Cirsp to deem speak in Toc¬ coa. it wise should Col. J. B. Jones, Executive committeeman from this district, call a meeting to form a club. We are glad to know that Hoke Smith had the nerve to resign his position in the cabinet of President Cleveland. Mr. Smith shows his loyalty to his State and people by sticking to the democrat¬ ic party. It is a great pity that big blockhead Herbert, of Alabama, Secretary of the Navy, had not as much sense and stamina as Smith and would stick to his people, the democrats of Alabama. We would like to run a large paper in Toccoa but cannot do it at a continual loss. 'Che merch- ants here, with few exceptions, do no t patronize the paper, and hence- forth, Toccoa will, like othef towns of no importance, be repre- sented by a paper fully as large as the town’s progressive spirit, When a business man advertises in your home paper you can be as¬ sured of two facts : that merchant wants your trade and also wants his town advertised to the outside world as not being dead—everlast* ingly dead from dry rot, Toccoa will not support a paper larger than the present size of the Times-News. In fact, no one who has run a paper here in the past 20 years ever made a living out of It, Like the majority of Toccoans, The Times-News is now out for the $. $. $. We’ve enjoyed the glory of newspaper business quite long enough for one poor fellow, The Times-News will at all « frequently largi as business demands en- n g.__ Business at the Times-News of¬ fice is done for cash.

Sent to Jail Last week Ed Hughes was ar¬ rested and tried before Judge Cook on two charges : one for riot and another for larceny. Mrs. Brooks claimed that Hughes stole a watch from her house, and the charge of riot was made against him on ac- coont of going to the residence of Mr. Andy Moore, some months ago and shooting, swearing and threatening the life of Austell Moore, son of Andy Moore, with whom a man by the name of Doo- ley, Hughes’ friend and chum had previously had a fight. Hughes and Dooley skipped the country, but Hughes returned and tried to settle the matter, but was arrested and tried and in default of $100 bond was sent to jail to await the action of the Superior Court, A Valuable Prescription. Editor Morrison of Worthing- ton, Ind., “Sun,” writes: “You have a valuable prescription in Electric Bitters, and I can cheer- fully recommend it for Constipa* tion and Sick Headache and as a gen- eral system tonic it has no equal.” Mrs. Annie Stehle, 2625 Cottage Grove Ave., Chicago, was all run down, could not eat nor digest food, had a backache which never left her and felt tired and weary, but six bottles of Electric Bitters restored her health and renewed her strength.

It has been assumed that it is a work of supererogation to recom¬ mend temperance or prohibition ab¬ solute and unconditional to Meth- odist preachers and laymen. We do not propose to discuss the pfo- position, or give an expression as to the correctness of this assump- tiort, but in view of the fact that those engaged in the liquor trufiic have already been intensely aggres* sive, and front present indications are making a determined effort to fasten this accursed business Upon us for all time to come and to deleat any effort being made by the friends of prohibition to suppress it, and we feel it the duty of every church and individual and good cltieen to wage Uncompromising, remorseless War Upon the whiskey of traffic, this infernal agency the devil, this advance guard of hell, occupying ground in the realm of oiif King, and we do not hesitate to give ex- pression to the conviction that selfish, its tolerance is largely due to time serving, weak kneed members of the church, and this toleration is a disgrace to our civilization and a reflection upon the church. We, therefore, call upon every preacher and layman who loves God and mankind, to rally as never be¬ fore around the prohibition stand¬ ard, believing that every man that does nor do his utmost to banish from the land this destructive traffic is a foe to God, to the clUirCh, to himself and to his fellow mart, and whereas the friends of prohibition throughout the State are making a combined effort to have enacted by the next shall General Assembly a law Which close the bai rooms of the State: Resolved, That while we do not favor the manufacture or sale of li¬ quor in dny shape, manrter, style or form, we pledge Elbertoli ourselves as mem¬ bers of the District Con¬ ference to work, to vote, to pray for any measure that will bring re¬ lief to our friends who have fasten- iriohster”intqm ty'’and* ° this \vhUe the anti-barroom bill may not be all we would ask, yet its enact- ment will be a long stride in the right direction, and we will give it our most hearty support. ].

Last Saturday John Vandiver brought to town aud sold the first bale of cotton for the middling year 1896. and The cotton graded brought 7! cents, and weighed 403 pounds; The cotton buyers here are afraid of the market, it fluctuated the past week as much as one-half cent a at close of market. The market dropped off 30 points Monday morning froin the close of Saturday night. The hot, dry weather tids put a bad appearance on things in this section. Even if silver should win, without an extra session of congress, no change would be made in the affairs of the country till next December, one year. Those who are in debt will do well to pay out and those who are out of debt, buy only what they can pay for. Trade is dull and people are careful to stay near the shore until the finan- cial crisis is in some way, broken —and it may take a long time to break it. My little boy, when two years of age, was taken very ill with bloody flux. I was advised to Use Cham- berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhcea Remedy, and luckily procured part of a bottle. I carefully read the directions and gave it accord- ingly. He was very low, but slow- ly and surely he began to improve, gradually recovered, and is now feel as stout and strong as ever. I sure it saved his life. I never can praise the Remedy half its worth, I am sorry every one in the world does not know how good it is, as I do.—Mrs. Lina S.

And as concerns the existing country news* papers which often fail so lament* ably to realize the true ideal of a country newspaper, the various in¬ tellectual men of the smaller com- munities*“-the lawyer, the schodl- m aster, the minister, the librarian, the naturalist, the college student-- should take to heart that by their Mfld. and simple co-operation* aco- operation that would almost always be warmly welcomed and seldom repelled, they could usually be made ten times better and more in- Auential than they are.” Since 1878 there have been nine epidemics of dysentery in different parts of the country in which Cham- berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy was used with per- feet success. Dysentery,whenepi- demic, is almost as dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the most skilled phy- sicians have failed to check its rav- ages; this remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases.both of children and adults, and under the most trying conditions, which proves it to be the be6t medicine rn the world for bowel complaints, For sale by Wright & Edge, drag- gists.
